It's not a backdoor in the existing router firmware. It's an article about how to add a backdoor to the firmware and then re-flash the router with that firmware, which requires authenticated access.

Yes, the heading is misleading. The actual one for the article is "A More Universal Router Payload – Backdooring the Linksys WRT54G Firmware".

"Backdooring" would be better in the title.
